en-USSay Nice Things About Detroit!http://www.cantonpl.org/blog/post/detroits-312th-birthday
Detroit turns 313 this year! The city was founded on July 24, 1701 by the French explorer <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1049334">Antoine Laumet de Lamothe Cadillac.</a> Originally named <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1265885">Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit</a>, its name was shortened by the British after they had gained control of the settlement during the French and Indian War. The city is known throughout the world as both an automotive center and the birthplace of some of the world's best known musical talent. Several nicknames have been attached to Detroit throughout its long history: <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1066492">Motown</a>, <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1466052">Hockeytown</a>, the <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1265291">Motor City</a>, the <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1458973">City of Champions</a>, and the <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1432824">Arsenal of Democracy</a> all reflect the city's acheivements. Although the city has undergone some <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1556615">tough times</a> in recent years, <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1225081">Detroit</a> can be proud of its contributions to both the country - and the world. Several new books and films have been produced recently about the city's <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1561160">current problems</a>, but there is much to celebrate as well. For a taste of the city's history, as well as a picture of its present, check out some of the titles below:<br /><br /><p class="book-record"><a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1212191"><span class="jacket"></span>Before Motown: a history of jazz in Detroit, 1920-60</a> by Lars Bjorn with Jim Gallert</p>
